What is Caustic Soda Flakes (Sodium Hydroxide – NaOH)?

Caustic Soda Flakes are the solid, white, flaky form of Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH), a highly alkaline and hygroscopic compound. They are odorless, soluble in water, and produce a large amount of heat when dissolved. NaOH is a strong base widely used for neutralizing acids, saponification, cleaning, and chemical processing.

Caustic soda flakes are commonly used in industries such as textiles, paper, soaps and detergents, water treatment, petroleum refining, and chemical manufacturing.
